"Untouchable. To be touched by an Outsider is to become an Outsider. A clawed, black hand reaches out to touch Shiva's cheek in her sleep. The hand does not belong to Teacher. Who is this strange new Outsider, and what do its creepy murmurings about 'mother' portend? Enter a fantasy realm shrouded in mystery, in a dark fairy tale-like setting for fans of The Ancient Magus' Bride"--Page 4 of cover.

This is the second book in The Girl from the Other Side series. I am continuing to really enjoy this series. In this book we find more out about The Outsiders and why Shiva was abandoned on their side of the wall.
This series has been described as "a quiet fairy tale" and that is a very apt
The illustration is fantastic and matches the tone of the story really well. The way images are displayed is very thoughtful and artistic.
The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I am incredibly curious to see where the story goes. I am interested to see what the significance of Shiva and her pure soul is and curious to see how this all ties in with The Curse.
Overall I am really loving the uniqueness and quiet beauty of this manga. I would recommend to manga fans who enjoy fairy tales. This is a very unique manga that is different from any other manga I have read and I am really enjoying. I definitely plan on continuing the series

In a world of those cursed who live outside the wall and those who live inside the wall in fear of being cursed, The Girl From the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún is a quiet fairy tale about a young girl, Shiva, who was abandoned in the forest by her aunt and raised by one of the Outsiders (those who
When a mysterious Outsider invades their home and touches Shiva, Teacher and Shiva embark on a journey to discover the source and possible cure of the curse. Unbeknownst to either, Shiva may be at the center of a prophecy of the church of those on the Inside, and Teacher may have to go extremes he didn't know possible to protect Shiva. But is Shiva a child of the Inside or the Outside, and is her role in the balance of darkness and light beyond Teacher's control?
I absolutely love this series. The art is beautiful and the story is paced perfectly, a nice balance of quiet tranquil storytelling and the urgency that Teacher feels in keeping Shiva safe. The mystery surrounding Shiva and her role in the battle between the darkness and the light is intriguing. I will definitely be picking up subsequent volumes in this series.

Teacher goes to great lengths to protect Shiva from both other Outsiders and himself (all it takes is one touch from an Outsider to become cursed), and Shiva spends her days waiting for her Auntie to come take her home. Teacher knows that there is very little chance that Shiva's aunt will ever come to bring her home, so he tries his best to fill Shiva's days with lessons and fun.When a mysterious Outsider invades their home and touches Shiva, Teacher and Shiva embark on a journey to discover the source and possible cure of the curse.
